Good News- The first advisory committee meeting regarding a new bridge and causeway off the Island was conducted on Monday, November 21. I am a member of this committee. The committee has been organized by Ted Mandel with the support and assistance of State Representative Todd Hunter. TX Dot is the entity that would be responsible for obtaining funding and constructing a new causeway/bridge. There is a meeting scheduled between TX Dot and the committee next month. The process of getting a new way off the Island will take years. The guestimates include 10-20 years. The good news is the process is getting started. A big thank you to Ted and Todd for getting the ball rolling. Stay tuned.
Thanksgiving- The PIPOA wishes everyone a Happy Thanksgiving and a joyous visit with family. Thanksgiving is a special time to give thanks for our blessings. The PIPOA office will be closed on Thursday, November 24, and Friday, November 25.
